T90/44 (9.3 antigen). A cell surface molecule with a function in human T cell activation

Abstract: T90/44 is a cell surface antigen which is present on human T cells of the helper and cytotoxic subsets and which binds the 9.3 monoclonal antibody (9.3 mAb). It is expressed in the form of 90‐kDa disulfide‐bonded dimers of a 44‐kDa polypeptide and of free 44‐kDa subunits. The function of T90/44 was investigated in a series of T cell function assays. 9.3 mAb was found to inhibit the activation of class II‐restricted cloned T helper cells derived from leprosy patients and reactive with M. leprae antigens.

“…The disruption to the specific CD28 ϩ IL-2 ϩ subset may in turn reflect differences in the state of activation of HIVcompared with CMV-specific cells. CD28 levels and function are up-regulated during T cell activation with polyclonal activators (26,48). Engagement of CD28 with anti-CD28 mAb also augments proliferation of human T cells in the presence of tetanuspulsed costimulation-deficient APC (49).…”

“…Many adhesion molecules mediate T-cell-B-cell interactions during an immune response and levels of several, including CD28 and B7/BB-1, increase after activation (1,11,25,32,33,35,36). Increased levels of these molecules may help explain why activated B cells are more effective at stimulating antigen-specific T-cell proliferation than are resting B cells (37)(38)(39)(40).…”

“…[10][11][12][13] CD28 was first identified in the 1980s as a co-receptor that enhanced TCR-induced proliferation and promoted the differentiation of naïve CD4 + T cells. 14,15 It encodes a 44 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that homodimerises due to disulphide bonds between cysteines juxta-positioned in the transmembrane region. 16 Cd28 gene has been mapped to human chromosome 2q33 and mouse chromosome 1.…”
